What ₹6 LPA really means
Your ₹6 LPA CTC includes the employer's PF and gratuity, which never reach you as cash. After removing those and deducting your own EPF (₹32,400), professional tax and income tax (₹0), your take-home is about ₹38,318/month.
You're also building ₹64,800/year of EPF retirement savings (employer + employee) that isn't in your monthly in-hand but is still your money.
